Hey, you! Yeah YOU!

I'm watching "Public Enemy" right now because the movie is fucking awesome.

I am poking around looking at the M1921 and M1927 Thompsons... evidently due to OAL, barrel length, whatever you need an NFA stamp.

Main difference is the 1921 is full auto, the 1927 is semi-auto... and the original full auto ones are super expensive...

Hypothetical question: could you technically buy a 1927A1-A5 SBR (semi auto replicas made by Auto-Ordnance... also makers of the original 1921 and 1927)... and make it full auto(thereby saving thousands of $$ in obtaining a full auto SMG)?

You still need to pay for the tax stamp for the firearm that needs to have an NFA stamp(due to being a short barreled rifle), so would that allow turning it full auto since that is also an NFA item?

I'm honestly not familiar with the NFA process(obviously), I am not sure if each stamp needs a specific description of whatever it is covering or what... but figured this would potentially be interesting.

1920s-30s gangsters(not "gangstas") are badass because they were bad guys, but had class.

I've been reading more and more on full auto weapons... and the more I'm surprised by how much I didn't know... such as how full auto guns used in crimes is so incredibly rare it's silly... Uzis were used by the secret service in the Reagan times...

And I found out that there have been maybe 4-5 crimes committed ever recorded with legally owned full automatic weapons... fucking crazy.

I wish the 1986 ban would get lifted so that we could purchase newer stuff... I had no fucking clue that all the full auto weapons out there(aside from police and military) are old as dirt....

So now you bastards have talked me into wanting a SMG... probably an Uzi or Mac10/11 simply because of cost.

Same thing happened with the Mosin I bought(wasn't interested in them much out of ignorance)... so I bought it... though I haven't had a chance to shoot the thing yet

Don't think that the UZI is a low quality firearm, they are anything but that. The MAC was designed to be a cheap gun.

The UZI was designed to be highly reliable, durable, and easy to manufacture. It's not a POS by any stretch of the imagination. The Secret Service used them, and ironically, so did the German army.

Gordon Ingram took the idea of the UZI and did everything he could to simplify it and decrease cost of production. While it worked, I think he took the cheapening a bit too far, especially in the sights department.

Thanks for the info... it's funny how much movies/media warps the views of everything unless you really look into it... I had no fucking idea!

I no longer have a Samurai. And I can't remember the last time I had my pickup in 4wd.

A 9mm Uzi would be hard to beat. Half the cost of an M16, and ammunition is significantly cheaper too.

Yeah... I found this video and I think I may need to get an AR or AK just so I can try this bump firing...
